Absolutely Insanely Huge Paintings (Acrylic on Wooden Panels)

(Value Village Art Gallery Favorite)

HOLY SMOKES!!!

HOLYYYY SMOKES!!!

These things are ginormous; easily 7ft tall or more. And they are double-sided: three painted objects done front and back = six painted scenes/subjects.They are on what appeared to be wooden panels, seemingly solid and heavy as hell but not as heavy as one would expect 7ft+ tall solid wood slabs to be? So maybe they are hollow. Who the heck knows?

I have no freaking idea what purpose these things were intended to serve. They can’t be wall paintings because they’re double-sided. They might work as room dividers or privacy screens except they don’t have any legs and they aren’t attached to one another by hinges so there’s nothing to keep them from tipping over. If they were set scenery for a play of some kind, again, there’s nothing at the base of any of them that would make them stand up properly.

But enough of that. These are just some really really beautifully done paintings. VV has them priced at $299.00 (each!!!) so they won’t be going anywhere very soon. I don’t know what anyone would even do with them. This is a very unusual clump of outsized art to happen upon at VV and I’m going to research the artist online ASAP. 

I’ll report back here later!
